Re:Confirmation hell? (296 comments)
I Stopped reading your post when you said "aggressively leaving the opposition out of even the most trivial policy discussions." that's egregiously dishonest - as it is well known to be false. Obama fucked the healthcare bill by allowing more and more compromise with republicans in an attempt to get them on board WHEN NO MATTER WHAT THE WERE GOING TO VOTE AGAINST IT.
Did the Administration and the Democratic leadership remove any one of those compromises they made, that failed to get any republican support? NOPE!
There were more republican amendments than democratic amendments, but obviously they're "aggressively leaving the opposition out of even the most trivial policy discussions.".
Your dishonest is astounding. Who modded parent insightful? you should be ashamed of yourself.
I guess it is too much to ask for something to have to be accurate to be insightful.
Re:Confirmation hell? (296 comments)
plausible, but sounds like an attempt at character assassination. It also ignores the simple fact that: we cannot drill our way out of a situation not created (in the short term) by limited supply, but by market manipulation thanks to Bush II energy market deregulation.
in the long run "Drill, baby, Drill" just delays the inevitable, and the longer the inevitable solution to other power generation sources is delayed the more money is wasted (over time, and at the eventual forced conversion).

>You really think that such improvements would happen in a hyper-regulated marketplace?
As evidence by Europe: yes.
Note: basic consumer protection is not "hyper-regulated", only an ignorant anarchocapitalist thinks that kinda crap - and considering implementing even a few of the anarchocapitalist deregulatory wet dreams led to the current recession: why the @#%$ should we listen to you?

Re:Microsoft's tax cut and a sales tax (305 comments)
sales taxes are not just not-progressive - they're regressive.
Rich and poor people need to buy a lot of the same basic things that are taxed - that tax eats up a larger percent of a poor persons income. that is the definition of a regressive tax.

Someone who knew what the bill was
As a progressive and a defender of the collective right to gun ownership (voting is also a collective right) - i have no issue with a well formulated assault weapons ban. One more formulated than "scary looking guns" - ie weapons that can be easily altered to fully automatic, etc.
The simple fact is that the claim that "more guns make for a safer society" is proven unequivocally wrong by global statistics. So I'm not gun up on guns.
I believe that you should have the right to own guns, but I also believe that right comes with the responsibility to prove that you can be trusted with them. I also believe that right, like many other rights, is subject to reasonable restriction.
Yes he has failed to fulfill a campaign promise thus far (renew the AWB), but he never vowed not to let them into national parks. The idea that you couldn't take a rifle into national parks is also retarded, some of those parks are vast and if you're back country camping you might need that rifle to defend yourself against a large predator. (not likely if you're careful, but it can happen)
Re:Useful to whom? The racists who care about skin (902 comments)
sorry, but you simply don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Legislation requires a simple majority. Only constitutional amendments require a supermajority per the constitution. Cloture and Filibusters are merely a senate rule, and can be changed if the senate so wishes it - in fact they need to be changed as the "filibuster without consequences" we have today is being abused.
The Health Insurance Reform act is entirely constitutional as set out by standing caselaw, as is the "individual mandate" (the item most claimed to be supposedly unconstitutional) as it is merely enforced by tax code - tax code is something the federal government has broad and explicit authority on.
The entire idea that "the only goal of government is to make itself bigger" shows a warped view of the world.
The only goal of government is to serve it's protect - to protect them from threats both foreign and domestic, to help them secure the fruits of liberty and prosperity.
Sometimes the best way for the government to do some of those things is to do nothing, some times it is to enforce regulation, sometime it is to raise an army and defend against an aggressor, and sometimes it requires removing the greet motive from interfering with security the fruits of prosperity for the most people.
The idea that "the smaller the government the better" means that the best form of government is no government. Guess what happens then? warlords.
Stop thinking about politics in macros and soundbytes and start actually thinking.
Re:Useful to whom? The racists who care about skin (902 comments)
You sound like yet another "10th Amendment says what i want it to person".
I've seen far too much
Person A: "Where does the constitution say that?"
Person B: "10th Amendment!"
Person A: "Um... no, the 10th doesn't say that"
the section of the constitution pertaining to the census specifically allows for other information as pointed out by a poster above who quoted the section that was conveniently left out by the Wyatt
Re:Useful to whom? The racists who care about skin (902 comments)
The Constitution doesn't work that way. It doesn't prohibit them asking for more information, and other clauses imply that so long as it isn't prohibited expressly or implicitly then there is no problem as long as it serves a legitimate government purpose.
being able to anticipate how diseases might affect the population certainly falls under a legitimate government purpose.
Just because the American Libertarian Party tells you incorrect information about the constitution doesn't make that information correct.
Re:Useful to whom? The racists who care about skin (902 comments)
says who? we collect the information anyway - statistics aren't harming anyone. and I'm sure at some point someone sued over the release of them and it was found constitutional.
What's your issue?

that is a fair point, but Ayn Rand doesn't merit my time to debunk her nonsense. people far more knowledgeable than me in those fields have already done it.

The founding fathers put this there for a reason. I am constantly reminded by example that these so-called Eurotrash understand what America stands for better than the average American these days. How about some of you out there actually stop watching Friends/Survivor/Joe Millionaire/American Idol/insert so-called reality TV show of the moment here and USE YOUR FREAKING BRAIN. Read some philosophy, some history, try to figure out the motiviations behind the politicians in washington. Just do something to engage your brain

A UK High Court claim filed this week by the Ministry of Sound record label against music streaming site Spotify raises some interesting issues around the originality threshold for copyright works.
The claim, which was reported in the Guardian, alleges that the Ministry's track listings (each a compilation of tracks by different artists) are copyright works in their own right. The Ministry allege that such copyright is infringed by playlists made available by Spotify which reproduce their compilation track listings.
It is unclear from the reports of the claim what type of copyright works are being relied on. The most obvious candidates are a database or a "compilation other than a database". It may sound odd to describe a list of album tracks as a database, but "Database" is defined widely under EU copyright law to include any collection of independent copyright works which are individually accessible and systematically or methodically arranged.
A key issue in the claim is likely to be whether the Ministry can demonstrate that the threshold for originality of the works they rely on has been satisfied. Following the CJEU decision in Infopaq, it seems the test to be applied for all copyright works is whether the work is the "author's own intellectual creation" (this is to be contrasted with the traditional UK test of whether some skill, labour or judgment had been expended). More recent CJEU judgments have helped clarify this test somewhat, stating that the creator of the work must express his "creative ability in an original manner by making free and creative choices", and thus "stamp his personal touch". On the basis of this (and given there is a wide range of possible track choices so the compiler's choice is quite free and will presumably be based mainly on aesthetic considerations), one might think that the Ministry have a reasonable chance of satisfying the test. They will not however be helped by recital 19 of the EU Database Directive, which provides that "as a rule, the compilation of several recordings of musical performances on a CD does not come within the scope of this Directive… because, as a compilation, it does not meet the conditions for copyright protection…".
Businesses involved in creating compilations (whether of music, or of other material, such as short stories, photographs or video clips) will watch this case with interest, as it has important ramifications for the feasibility of such businesses in the face of digital content sharing platforms like Spotify. They should also ensure that the creative effort they expend in creating their compilations is clearly documented.

The chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, tried to put a hold on foreign aid to Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. It was a manifestation of the same old AIPAC-driven politics, where the US acts punitively toward one side in the Israel-Palestine conflict.

So here's an example of the danger of tying foreign policy to humanitarian aid. The US and North Korea inked a deal on nuclear inspections and negotiations that would free up food aid for the North Korean people. Then the Kim Jong-un regime announced they would engage in a long-range missile test. And as a result, the US will suspend the food aid.

Clarification on Ceramic Coated Headers Service
Have your headers become discolored? Are they a little blue? Are you looking to give your bike a sleeker look? British Customs offers a Ceramic Coated Header Service for your Triumph Motorcycle. Lasting 14 times longer than chrome, this durable protective matte black finish will cover up any existing discoloration and prevent new discoloration and rust. Coating additionally reduces surface temperature by up to 25 percent.
Note that a new pair of header crush gaskets are required for installation of newly coated head pipes. Header crush gaskets are available for purchase for $9.95 each. These gaskets are not reusable.
There are two options when ordering:
One. Send in your headers. Once we receive your headers, we will coat them and return them back to you within two weeks. Actual time from when you send in your headers and receive them back will vary based on shipping time. The coating process is finished within two weeks of our receipt. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs.
Two. If you're unable to be without your headers for a long period of time because you use your Triumph frequently, we do offer a core exchange service. Once we receive your order, we send pre-coated headers (that we have here at the shop) to you immediately. There is a refundable core exchange fee of $550. You must send us your headers to receive the refund. Once we receive and inspect your undamaged headers, we will refund this fee to you. Damage does not include discoloration as discoloration is expected. Headers must be received with no dents or scratches. This service availability is dependent on our core stock. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs.

A bronze sculpture depicts refugees clinging to a giant bronze arm that reaches out of the ground and 42 feet into the air. Enter the surrounding courtyard to see a memorial wall and hear the music that seems to give voice to the 6 million Jews who died at the hands of the Nazis. It's easy to understand why Kenneth Treister's dramatic memorial is in Miami Beach: the city's community of Holocaust survivors was once the second-largest in the country.

I dare you not to weep! I've travelled 47 states, numerous countries, and this is hands-down the most moving experience to date. The outer area is visually beautiful, but the many photographs with accompanying history and especially the sculpture area in the center of the memorial will just about bring you to your knees. If everyone could see this, learn and never forget, maybe the world wouldn't be filled with so many horrors. Certainly no fool
would ever say the holocaust never happened. No religious persuasion or affiliation needed to appreciate this stunning and staggering monument to those who so horribly suffered and/or perished.

We had been warned that Garfield's had went down hill, but decided to eat there anyways. But being stationed away from home 11 months out of the year I wanted to go anyways. I'm glad we went, the food and service were both good
i wish that it was good and clean the food is alsome but i hate the dirtiness of the restaurant that is the only issue i had with the restaurant
When I walk in the place gives me a warm dealing.But there was bounty to seat me so then 5minutes the food was bad.
the staff are friendly but if you go there dont do it during a thunderstorm the lights almost went off
Garfield in Heath is connected to the Mall and is the only sit-down restaurant in the mall besides the Cafe Court. The food is ok. A luncheon salad or special with a drink will still push the bill to $10 plus a tip.
Not only have I went to eat at Garfields- I also worked there. Now granted I haven't worked there in a few years- so perhaps things have improved, but i hardly doubt it. The management there is a joke- the turn-over rate of employees is sky high. The manager would only hire hot hostesses who won't lift a finger (I... More
Great margaritas, food was good but not a great value
Slow service, food arrived Luke warm and steak not cooked as ordered.
My boyfriend and I went on 5/23/09. The food was excellent and so was the service. It is right by Elder-Beerman in the Indian Mound Mall. It reminds us of a Friday's. They also have an outdoor patio. The bar is really cool. We are definitely going to return. WE HIGHLY recommend this place!
Never even got to taste the food because after we waited 5 minutes for someone to appear to seat us (we literally saw No One in the resturant) and we got sat, after waiting over 10 minutes and still had no one come to our table, we decided to leave and will not return.

MIDLAND, TEXAS - Investigators say a West Texas man has died after being shot by officers during a three-county chase.
Authorities say Earney Lee Maker Jr. of Midland died Sunday at a hospital after a chase through Midland and Ector counties ended in Andrews County.
Maker was on probation after pleading guilty in November over a domestic dispute with his ex-girlfriend.
Midland police were dispatched to a home on a report of a man possibly being suicidal.
Department of Public Safety Trooper John Barton says officers believed Maker was armed when they located him nearby in his truck, but he drove away.
Maker was shot when he allegedly attempted to strike an Andrews police officer and his truck hit a DPS vehicle.
The Midland Reporter-Telegram reports a weapon was recovered from Maker's truck.

This is a first time bloomer. There are two more buds that appear to be forming on the blooming cane. But I wanted to post this first bloom just in case I am wrong about the other buds. It is a rather glossy flower with a slightly spicy scent. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Wish we had smell-a-vision. Nice to look at. |
Mine is blooming right now as well - 2 flowers, but I broke one moving the plant. I don't notice any smell at all , though. Lovely little plant! |
- Posted by Greencurls Z5 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 26, 13 at 17:00
Tucker, yours very nice also. Thank you for sharing. The fragrance is pretty light but definitely there in mine. It is most obvious in the morning. I like the spiciness of the fragrance. |
They are so pretty. How do you grow them? Jane |
- Posted by Greencurls Z5 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 29, 13 at 21:06
I am growing mine in a southern window in intermediate temperatures. Over the winter, I let it dry significantly between waterings. Now that the new growth is showing, I am increasing watering. I am still letting it dry between but not letting it stay dry as long. Tucker - What about you? |
Pretty much the same - potted in a small clay pot in NZ sphagnum, bright light, more water now that it's growing, a little fertilizer, but very weak. Tucker |

I don't usually cook with chicken breasts because they aren't packed with flavor and tend to dry out easily. When I do have them in the fridge I usually bread them and use them for sandwiches. I wanted to elevate the breaded chicken breast sandwich to another level. Here's how I did it.
- 1Salt and pepper chicken breast. Dredge first in flour, then egg and finally bread crumbs.
- 2Heat medium sized cast-iron skillet to medium-high heat. Add oil and fry chicken breast on each side until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to cooling rack.
- 3Combine chopped Vietnamese coriander with mayonnaise and stir to combine. Fry up the diced chorizo in a cast-iron pan for a few minutes to crisp it up, then add to mayonnaise mixture. Reserve rendered chorizo fat.
- 4Slice one 3×6 inch piece of focaccia in half lengthwise. Spread with mayonnaise mixture.
- 5Lay chicken breast atop mayonnaise mixture, then cheese atop the chicken breast. Finally place the other piece of focaccia bread on top.
- 6Re-heat cast iron pan to medium and grill the focaccia for about 5 minutes on each side in the rendered chorizo oil. Press down to ensure the cheese melts thoroughly. Focaccia crust should be slightly charred and crispy. Slice in half and enjoy.

Ok, I have been annoyed by this for a long time. Kids of all ages start playing games with LOADS of violence (Gears, Dead Rising, Grand Theft Auto, etc.) but when a game slips a booby in there, it's goodbye game. I don't get how its way better to play where you shooting heads off, ripping legs apart, all that stuff, mixed in with a ton of swearing, then to see a boob in your video game.
Sex is not a sin (starts out that way, most people go further,) but murder is. I'm not talking real murder where the players try the stuff they see in games and go out and do it in real life. I'm talking about how come parents especially think they're protecting their kids from the "bad stuff" (anything sex related) when they let them play the most violent games out there?
I mean Grand Theft Auto, it's always been a target of how games corrupt our kids, blah blah blah, but it was only when the Hot Coffee Mod came out that it was a massive outrage over it.
Ok i'm done ranting now.

Coroner's Report: Undocumented
Features By Robert Fure on February 16, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThe horror genre gets a bad rap. Virtually all horror movies are dismissed out of hand when it comes to having something to say. Who can take a message out of all that blood and violence? Well when the world is bloody and violence, I say horror films are the perfect venue to tell some stories and in a graphic way. Undocumented, from first-timer Chris Peckover, uses the topical subject of illegal immigration in America as it's setting. Don't run away! While there is obviously some politics at play here, the film doesn't delve too far into the seriousness of the politics, but it does perhaps give you pause to think about the situation, at least some aspects of it. The film follows a group of grad students making a film about illegal border crossings and those who take advantage of illegal labor. During a border crossing for their documentary, the group ends up getting kidnapped alongside the illegal immigrants by a violent border control group.
Review: 'The Ides of March' Doesn't Amount to Much
Movie Reviews By Luke Mullen on October 7, 2011 | Be the First To CommentAudiences are no strangers to political films these days. While they usually have more of a thriller angle and focus on government figures already in power, there have been a decent number that follow candidates on the campaign trail and as such, any new film tackling old ground needs to make a conscious effort to distinguish itself in some way, to stand out from the crowd. Unfortunately, The Ides of March makes no such effort and seems content to languish in probable obscurity. The film is a character study following Ryan Gosling's Stephen Meyers, a whip-smart but naive young campaign staffer during his time working for Governor Mike Morris. Morris, played by George Clooney who also co-wrote the screenplay and directed the film, is a presidential hopeful, and the film takes place during his campaign to win the Democratic party nomination. Meyers is essentially the number two man on the campaign at only 30 years old working directly under campaign manager and political mainstay Paul Zara, played with zeal by the incredible Philip Seymour Hoffman. Their competition is technically a Senator Pullman (Michael Mantell), though the opposition is almost entirely represented by Paul Giamatti, who plays Pullman's campaign manager, Tom Duffy. Duffy and Zara are old school, both having come up around the same time, with Duffy seeming to have been in Zara's shadow to a certain degree. Duffy and Zara are hardened political guys, but Meyers is still idealistic, believing in a man who can truly bring change to the country. He's put […]

Ok guys - no requirement for a debate on pro's and con's of open vs concealed - we have done that plenty.
Just wondering tho - if you did choose open for whatever reason - which do you think freaks the sheep least? Revo or semi?
From conversations I have had over time it does seem the open carry revo - even if large - is regarded as a lesser threat!!! Must be something about shape maybe - something ''traditional perhaps?
Could be too - revo showing for many equates to ''cowboy'' genre - whereas semi seems maybe more "LE'' or threatening. Not sure but I'll vote revo anyways for not stirring up the crowds so much!

95th Giro d'Italia: Riders to Watch
Joaquim Rodríguez (Katusha Team)
6 / 11
Joaquim Rodríguez finished fourth in last year's Giro, a somewhat disappointing result for a rider many thought would challenge Alberto Contador for the win. His Achilles' heel has always been time trialing—something he hopes won't be as much of a factor this year as the course features less of it than in years past. The Spaniard is coming off a hot streak after stellar rides in the spring Classics—including victory in Flèche Wallonne.

CED WEB EXTRA: SIP and PacketCable(3)
Wed, 01/31/2007 - 7:00pm
This article is the second in a four part series that explains the PacketCable™ 2.0 network architecture. The first article describes the PacketCable 2.0 project design goals, strategic drivers, and architecture. This current article discusses the PacketCable specification's use of the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and how it integrates with the PacketCable Multimedia specification. Subsequent articles will discuss the provisioning, management, and security framework as well as the future of the PacketCable 2.0 project.
The PacketCable 2.0 specification is based upon the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), which uses SIP for session control. SIP provides the foundation for a service delivery platform that is a key aspect of the IMS and the PacketCable 2.0 network. By using SIP in conjunction with PacketCable Multimedia, the PacketCable 2.0 network architecture allows cable operators to create a holistic service framework on top of their DOCSIS network deployments without precluding other access technologies.
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
SIP is used for creating and managing communication sessions in IP-based networks. The protocol is defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the standards body that has defined most of the foundational protocols for the Internet and World Wide Web. SIP follows the Internet paradigm that favors end-to-end communication and distributed functionality. One of the strong features of SIP is its extensibility - new messages and attributes can be easily defined. Also, SIP provides built-in mechanisms to support interoperability so that end points with disparate capabilities can still communicate with each other.
SIP and its extensions provide the following capabilities:
Multimedia session establishment - Enables a user to establish a multimedia communications session with another user on the network. The term "multimedia" refers to the multiple types of media that can be carried in a session, such as audio, video, text, etc. Two endpoints can establish or modify a session by exchanging information that describes the attributes of the session, such as what type of media coding to use and where to send the media.
User mobility and registration - Allows a user to be contacted using a single identifier, even as the user changes network attachment points (user mobility). Also, a user can have multiple simultaneous network attachment points (e.g., WiFi and Ethernet). User mobility and the ability to support multiple attachment points are enabled by the SIP registration procedure. When a user first appears on the network as a result of logging in or powering up a device, the registration procedure binds the user identity to the user's current physical attachment address on the network. This binding is maintained as long as the user remains at that physical address.
Event notification - Provides a framework that allows an entity to subscribe to an event of interest and be notified when that event takes place. In other words, SIP can obtain the status of a given resource and track changes in that status. For example, an application could subscribe to the presence state of a user (see below) to determine when the user is available to accept new calls.
Presence - Enables more effective communication by allowing users to advertise their availability and willingness to communicate. Presence can be thought of as dynamic information about a particular user that is made available to applications or other users. A widely used application that leverages presence is Instant Messenger (IM), whose "buddy list" allows a user to see who is available for messaging.
Decentralized Application Control
One of the chief characteristics that distinguishes the PacketCable 2.0 network architecture from the PacketCable 1.0 and 1.5 (herein referred to as 1.x) network architectures is the nature of application control. As shown in Figure 1, a PacketCable 1.x network is built around a centralized architecture in which the application logic plus the non-application-specific support functions, such as user authentication, service authorization and message routing, are all controlled by the Call Management Server (CMS). This application-centric approach works well for residential telephony, a well-defined service with simple end-point devices.
A PacketCable 2.0 network, on the other hand, is required to support multiple applications and to provide a platform on which new, yet-to-be-defined applications can be introduced easily. To meet this requirement, PacketCable 2.0's network architecture decouples application control from the application-independent support functions. As shown in Figure 1, the PacketCable 2.0 base network architecture provides all the support functions, such as authentication, authorization, and routing. The application logic resides in Application Servers and clients that plug into standard interfaces to utilize the support services of the base architecture. PacketCable 2.0's decoupling of application logic from the support functions promises to deliver many benefits for cable operators, such as:
Re-use of core network components across multiple applications
Favorable scaling and reliability models
Reduced time-to-market for new services
For consumers, the primary benefit will be a variety of new services that enhance their overall cable experience.
SIP and the PacketCable 2.0 network
As described earlier, SIP is a protocol that allows the establishment of multimedia sessions. However, it must work in conjunction with a network architecture to provide the wide variety of features and services envisioned by the cable industry.
Figure 2 shows the PacketCable 2.0 network architecture components and interfaces. The components are grouped into multiple logical functions. The Local Network provides the IP attachment point for the client device. The Local and Access networks together provide an IP pipe to carry SIP messages between the client and the Proxy Call Session Control Function (P-CSCF). The P-CSCF acts as the client's SIP entry point into the PacketCable 2.0 network, exchanging all SIP messages between the client and the core. The core provides the non-application-specific support functions mentioned earlier, such as authentication, authorization, routing, and basic session establishment. The core also invokes Application Servers (AS), when they are needed, to provide additional features and services to the user. Application control resides in the Application Servers and clients.
The Interconnect provides access to other networks such as the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). Calls destined for the PSTN are routed to the Breakout Gateway Control Function (BGCF), which in turn selects the hop-off point through the PSTN Gateway (PSTN GW) to the PSTN. The PSTN GW reuses the PacketCable 1.x Media Gateway Controller (MGC), Media Gateway (MG), and Signaling Gateway (SG) components in order to leverage the infrastructure and capital investment of already-deployed PacketCable 1.x PSTN interconnect facilities. The Interconnect function also supports an interface to the PacketCable 1.x Call Management Server (CMS) in order to enable calls between PacketCable 2.0 and 1.x endpoints.
When a user comes online, the client establishes a secure signaling channel with the P-CSCF, and communicates the user's identity, credentials, and location on the network to the core. The core assigns a Serving-CSCF (S-CSCF) to the user, and the selected S-CSCF then authenticates the user through the supplied credentials. Once the user is authenticated, the S-CSCF registers the user's location in order to route subsequent SIP messages to the user.
Once registered, the user can invoke features and services supported by the network. For example, the user may initiate an audio-video call to another registered user by sending a SIP INVITE request that describes the audio and video session parameters. As these SIP messages travel from one user to another, they pass through the S-CSCF assigned to each user. The S-CSCF plays two major roles during this message exchange. First, it verifies that the target user is authorized to use the requested service, based on the user's service profile information that is provisioned by the cable operator in the Home Subscriber Server (HSS). Second, the S-CSCF invokes any Application Servers required to provide the service based on rules defined by the cable operator.
Depending on the application, the AS may forward the SIP message to another party, may initiate additional new sessions, or may terminate the session. For example, a call-forwarding AS would redirect a session to the forward-to party.
Once all Application Servers identified by the S-CSCF's service control platform have been invoked, the S-CSCF routes the SIP message on toward the destination user. For example, calls destined for the PSTN are sent to the BGCF, while calls destined to a PacketCable 2.0 user are routed to the Interrogating-CSCF (I-CSCF) or the P-CSCF.
PacketCable Multimedia
The PacketCable 2.0 network architecture interfaces with the PacketCable Multimedia network architecture to ensure that the DOCSIS network establishes the proper service flows to meet the bandwidth and latency needs of the multimedia session. Figure 2 shows the PacketCable Multimedia components within the PacketCable 2.0 network architecture. When the P-CSCF receives a SIP message containing session information, it passes the session attributes to the PacketCable Application Manager (PAM). The PAM derives the bandwidth resource requirements for the session based on the session attributes and interacts with the Policy Server to allocate the appropriate resources within the Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS).
PacketCable 2.0 specification enhancements to IMS
One of the advantages of using IMS as the base for a PacketCable 2.0 network is that it provides an application and access independent architecture that supports many of the cable industry requirements. However, IMS was originally conceived to meet the needs of the mobile/wireless industry, and thus does not support all of the business and operational needs of cable operators.
For example, cable operators need support for clients that do not contain an IMS Subscriber Identity Module (ISIM). A Subscriber Identity Module is a small removable chip found in GSM mobile phones that contains subscriber data and authentication information. Since IMS support is currently limited to clients with ISIMs, the PacketCable 2.0 specification defines extensions to allow for other types of clients, such as those more typically found connected to cable systems. The PacketCable 2.0 specification also defines procedures to provide service in a typical home environment where clients are behind off-the-shelf NAT and firewall devices. Additional detail regarding PacketCable 2.0 extensions can be found in the PacketCable 2.0 Architecture Framework Technical Report.
CableLabs® is in the process of introducing the PacketCable 2.0 IMS enhancements back into 3GPP, with the goal that IMS will evolve to support all cable requirements.
A key innovation of the PacketCable 2.0 SIP signaling network architecture is the separation of application control from the application-independent support functions. This is realized by defining an application-agnostic base architecture that supports functions such as user authentication, service authorization, and message routing that are common to all applications. Application logic lives outside of the base architecture in Application Servers that utilize the services of the base architecture over a standardized SIP interface. This architecture is a great benefit to cable operators since it minimizes the cost, complexity, and time-to-market associated with deploying new features and services to their customers.

I was just watching ESPN and Adam Schefter was naming the top five trades he think should happen but probably won't & his #1 was that the 49ers should trade one of our 1st rounders to Carolina for Julius Peppers. He said Carolina needs a 1st round pick & That Sing would light a fire under Peppers and he would resurrect his career with us and would be great addition to our D. Keeping in mind it's probably won't happen, I would personally like to see this trade go down but only if we give them our pick & not Carolinas back b/c it should be a top 10 if they keep playing like they are now. I understand he would need a new deal & we have to sign some other guys but he would be a nice addition. What do you guys think?
I would put the trigger on that trade. I would give them. Kentwan Balmer, Arnez Battle, plus a 3th round pick.
BTW: What the hell is going on with Kentwan Balmer. He has 6 tackles and ZERO sacks this season so far. Scotty M should be on the hot seat big time over this pick anytime now. He would our 1st round pick at the 29th overall spot, and he has been less than silent. Very disappointed in this pick so far.
First Round
29. San Francisco (From Colts)- Kentwan Balmer, DT North Carolina
30. NY Jets (From Packers)- Dustin Keller, TE Purdue
31. NY Giants - Kenny Phillips, S Miami (FL)
Second Round
1. (32) Miami - Phillip Merling, DE Clemson
2. (33) St. Louis - Donnie Avery, WR Houston
3. (34) Washington (From Raiders through Falcons) - Devin Thomas, WR Michigan State
4. (35) Kansas City - Brandon Flowers, CB Virginia Tech
5. (36) Green Bay (From Jets) - Jordy Nelson, WR Kansas State
6. (37) Atlanta - Curtis Lofton, LB Oklahoma
7. (38) Seattle (From Ravens) - John Carlson, TE Notre Dame
8. (39) San Francisco - Chilo Rachal, OG Southern Cal
Maybe we could have taken Avery instead of Balmer but other than that pretty slim pickins. Can't really blame McClaughan except that we probably shouldn't of traded with the Pats in the first place.

I expected more from this product considering the crazy number of rave reviews it has received, as well as its price. This is supposedly a 3-in-1 cleanser. It cleans, tones and removes make-up. I must say that it does a great job in removing make-up but fares average in terms of just cleansing. It doesn't make me feel super refreshed, as compared to other cleansers. However, I do love the fact that I don't have to spend time using a separate bottle of toner since this cleanser has toning properties. The packaging is absolutely adorable too. It is a cleanser that is very gentle so I recommend it to people who have sensitive skin. If you have oily and acne-prone skin, I do not advocate this cleanser because it does not control oil and breakouts as well as other cleansers do. Overall, this cleanser was not worth my money, although it is not too bad.

Hands-down, my favorite cleanser of all time. This is the cleanser that got me in love with philosophy's products. It really is a miracle worker for getting makeup off. I don't even use makeup wipes. I don't know what it contains that makes makeup melt off so easily but I don't even need to know. It even gets my eye makeup off. I don't know how it is with waterproof makeup though, b/c don't wear anything waterproof. If you are going to get your eye makeup off though, do be careful b/c I've heard some people got irritated from it. As long as it doesn't get in my eye, I'm fine. It smells like the spa, which is wonderful. The only con is the price, but for what it's worth, I'm willing to pay it.
This is the most amazing face wash.. everytime I use it my face feels amazing and clean and soft.. I have dry face and this works great and does not dry me out more then I already am.. I use this twice a day everyday.. it is expensive but worth it. :)
THIS STUFF IS DA BOMB. I have a combination and acne prone skin. My skin is horrible back then when 12, I used a product that irritated my skin and worsen my face. I have this acne which leave scars. UGLYYY. I was so insecure, when I was 13 my skin was a bit better. A BIT. Average 2-3 pimples on my forehead. I used natural product which is Aubrey. But my scars is still there, and my skin was dull. Until I went to Boots at oxford street, i saw Philosophy's product there. I was soooo tempted to buy it (i can be easily tempted to any facial products which have a nice packaging ahah). And then I saw this Purity made simple cleanse aka a piece of heaven. But i forced myself to go home and read reviews about it. I was 50/50 about this product based on the reviews.
I saw many youtubers making a skincare routine using this with a clarisonic. So I bought this on the second day AND IT WORKED PERFECTLY FOR THE FIRST 3 WEEKS :'D My mom complimented my skin. And it worked even better after a month! Im so blessed that I found this. I also bought the Sephora cleasing face disc and it's a great combination! (y) no lies. LOVE IT. But i have to ship if it ran out cause i live in Malaysia which they dont bring in Philosophy products. i know it sucks right
p.s- im 14! :)

This is the only face wash I have found that helps my acne. I still breakout from time to time but even while pregnant this wash is efficient enough to get to the toughest breakouts. I wish it did a little more with my black heads but overall this is my one and only face wash! LOVE IT!
I love the smell and feel of this. I just don't care too much for the product itself. It doesn't get everything off :(
More reviews by nikkimorrissey
I was so excited to try this after being impressed with the 3-in-1's from Philosophy. Too bad that it made my skin go bonkers. I don't know if it didn't cleanse well enough or if it was the fragrance or what, but my face was not having it. I had high hopes, but was majorly let down.
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Purity Cleanser! I have very sensitive skin and this product has never left my skin irritated. I'm also the type of person who likes to get things done quickly, so the fact that I can remove my face & eye makeup at the same time while leaving my face feeling clean, is awesome! Also, I really like the lemongrass scent as it is not too strong or overpowering; it's like a spa. I only use about a dime sized amount to wash my face and neck. I buy a 16oz bottle at Sephora for $33. I like to keep the large bottle in my shower and a smaller bottle on my sink, so when the smaller one runs out, I can just refill it. I love the Philosophy brand and I love Purity made simple cleanser.
I have a small bottle of this and I'm not really impressed... I like my cetaphil daily face cleanser better. I've tried a lot of different cleansers but I always come back to the Cetaphil daily face one.. The only time I don't like it is in the depths of winter when my face is SO dry that I have to use a cream cleanser. This cleanser doesn't feel as good but it does smell nice.

"Having enjoyed several Shutterfly photo books received as gifts from my son, I couldn't resist trying to create them myself. The ease of creation and the wonderful results got me hooked on Shutterfly. I've created six books so far, and I have the intention of scanning in all our photos and creating photo books to showcase them all. Just when I thought this photo creativity couldn't get any better, I decided to try my hand at greeting cards. My wife and I recently retired to the west coast and wanted some all-purpose cards to use for note cards and thank you cards. The quality of the cards I received has surpassed my expectation by a mile. They are incredible. I went with matte finish which I prefer. The cards are coated in what seems to be a plastic protective layer which will likely make these cards keepers. They're nice enough to frame. Even with the shipping cost, the cards are cost effective to give as one-off personalized birthday cards. I'll never use a store bought card again."
"This was my first time using Shutterfly for something other than a calendar. Only ordered one box of cards to see if the quality of reproduction and paper stock was as good as the calendars. To my delight, it was. These cards are so good, and the envelopes are also very good quality. I have sent thank you cards out in the past, and have NEVER received any response from the recipients (not that I would expect to), but with these cards, I did hear from the two people I sent them to as soon as they received it. My only criticism is the delivery time. While I received an e-mail from Shutterfly telling me that my package was on its way, it seems to take much longer for delivery (same for calendar orders) than it does for other companies I have used. With that said, based on the quality, the versatility of designing your own card, and the ability to shop multiple products while on the Shutterfly site, I am hooked on Shutterfly. The other website company that I have used in the past does not allow you to make multiple product purchases - you need to order one item, and then go in and design/place your next order (no shopping cart available). Based on my satisfaction with these Thank You cards, I've already ordered other Shutterfly products to see if I will be as satisfied as I was with these Thank You cards. If so, it's going to make my "gift giving" needs much easier throughout 2013! I highly recommend these Cards."
"The thank you cards are absolutely beautiful! Not only is the picture quality amazing and the time it took to put them together minimal, but when they arrived they looked like hours had been invested working on design. The cards are good quality and exceeded my expectations!"
"I ordered these for my 2 yr old son to have on hand for personalized thank you cards. I really liked the fact that there isn't a picture so I can use them over a longer period of time and not have them look outdated. I love the colors and simplicity of the design and have received many compliments on them. I also love the quality of the card stock they are printed on. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and think they would make nice gifts."
"The card is great quality as are all of the cards on Shutterfly. The size is great for the big or wide photos that don't fit well on the other cards with the large writing. The yellow is VERY bright and cheery."
You have so much for which to be thankful. Stay on top of it all with personalized thank you notes and thank you cards to have handy at your desk. Perfect for thanking a party host or holiday gift-giver, photo thank you cards and non-photo thank you cards are a more personal alternative to a store-bought thank you card.

Does anyone else feel like I do that the "before" house has a whole lot more curb appeal than the "after"? To me, the "before" color scheme, the front door surround and pediment, and the landscaping (those azaleas!!) are beautiful. The "after" is sooo BLAH and that gigantic pineapple finial above the front door is just silly. The only improvements I feel that the "after" house offers over the "before" house is wood shake shingles instead of asphalt shingles and more size appropriate window shutters. Other than that, I want to scream "WHY? WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO YOUR HOUSE!!" :) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Remember that "those azaleas" only look great a few weeks out of the year. ML |
Not necessarily, ML. There are Encore Azaleas that bloom 4-5 times in a season from early spring through late fall. |
jewel, agree especially about that pineapple above the front door. Many ways to incorporate pineapple in your home decor without plunking one on the roof. |

I received my issue of S/L (March) yesterday and had not looked at it until this was posted. It was still in the bin by my computer, so picked it up and looked. I liked the before and Iiked the after. Will ask son opinion. The architecture firm is a competitor, but he loves NOLA and Charleston, so he might agree with the after. As an aside, don't care for Encore azaleas. They will produce 5-6 blooms 3-4 times per year. Not much for show-and-tell, especially in Birmingham. In place of the scrimpy azaleas, use Knockout roses. |
I'm sure that architects and purists will prefer the "after"; I just don't like it. The house went from a head turner to something I could walk/drive by without feeling compelled to look. I'm close to Birmingham and my Encore Azaleas are covered in blooms for 4 weeks at a time at least 4 times a season. The last blooming lasts even longer -- they start flowering in early September and last well into October (I think the cooling temps extends the blooming).. They look so great against the green of my Boxwoods and junipers. |
Sorry to disagree but i much prefer the after, it's cleaner and more streamlined, i even like the pineapple , it makes a statement. I looked closely at all the details, it's well done. Thanks for posting this, the march issue was free on my ipad and they have a few nice chicken recipes, i might get the digital subscription. |
Oh, now I want to see it!! I think my subscription expired...and southern living .com still has just the Feb issue!! I might have to go to the store! |
- Posted by tryingtodecorate (My Page) on Fri, Feb 21, 14 at 20:48
I didn't see anything wrong with the before picture but I did like the after landscaping better. Not that there was anything wrong with the azaleas, just thought the other was more appealing--personal preference. |
How funny you should bring this up. I was looking at the before and after last night and thinking that the "improvements" weren't that great. There was something wrong about the color of the the trim before, which was corrected, but the pineapple took the house in the wrong direction (IMO). |
I saw my Dad's second wife's magazine on his desk in the mail pile and picked it up. I thought the pineapple was kind of odd as well, and the shutters on the dormer windows, while hinged and actually working, looked way too big. I might be a little biased, though, because I'm so mad at Southern Living these days. It's anything but southern. I miss the old way they used to publish. I dropped my subscription several years ago. |
- Posted by forboystoo (My Page) on Sat, Feb 22, 14 at 19:58
Thanks for posting the picture, forboystoo. Even though I can't really see it well, I am pretty sure the 'before' is my preferred house. I have NEVER seen shutters on dormers before and now I know why! What in the world were they thinking?I am not a fan of the pineapple. I think it is completely put of proportion to the house and also does not fit style-wise. I am also not a fan of shrubs shorn into round shapes unless they are in a parterre. Despite the fact that they only bloom for about three weeks, I am a huge fan of azaleas.Obviously, this is all JMHO. |
For a lazy gardner, but one who likes to garden, there's no way I'd be ok with those uber-clipped shrubs. Much prefer the undulation and character of azaleas, but constant blossoms aren't a big deal for me. Of course, I'm not taking into account a service to keep them clipped…still not a fan. Agree that shutters on the dormers looks heavy and not taken with the pineapple as used. I like playing around with scale, but those elements don't come across well. I would have been in agreement with removing/moving the evergreen in front of that window and at the entrance to the stairs. I keep looking for a tree for the front. Something medium sized and spring blooms…oh, it's because I'm obsessed with dogwoods right now as I look for a place to plant my little guy. An airy dogwood, there, would be lovely. |
- Posted by lazydaisynot (My Page) on Sun, Feb 23, 14 at 1:36
Oh my. I haven't seen the magazine, but judging from the photos, the pineapple looks ridiculous. Sheared shrubs are screaming to find their natural shape; the swath of shrubs in the "before" are much more pleasing to my eye. It's not the blooms that make the difference for me, but the form. |
- Posted by technicolor (My Page) on Sun, Feb 23, 14 at 7:03
What an odd transformation for a perfectly darling cottage. I wonder if they mixed up the before and after. Considering what we are seeing, the before was the wonderful. There were some things I would still have changed, but how did they go brick on the fire place, front entry, etc. after once being painted? And those bushes look to have been there forever for "hair cuts". I think an editing mistake was made. |
Thank you Forboystoo! I agree that the landscaping in the before pic, from what I can tell, was very attractive. It does look like they took the before pic in the height of Spring, which makes everything look lovely. Usually before pics are taken in the dead of winter! I do like the white paint, and I even like the dormer shutters as I feel they give some balance to the facade. To me, though, the biggest improvement in the after pic is the removal of the arch over the front door. I think that gabled overhang (not sure correct term for it) looks more appropriate. And I adore the new front door and door shutters...I am a big fan of door shutters. The pineapple doesn't bother me, looks like it was added for interest. I could go either way with it. |
- Posted by DreamingoftheUP (My Page) on Sun, Feb 23, 14 at 14:01
Hard to get a good view of the before picture but as for the after - the shutters on the dormers and that pineapple finial topping the pediment all look ridiculous. And I hope they have a gardener to trim and shape all those puff ball shrubs. I'd say it's not 'good to great' but 'good to goofy'. |
- Posted by patty_cakes (My Page) on Sun, Feb 23, 14 at 14:44
While the before/ after seem totally a** backwards(I can't help but think that someone screwed up!)I do like both styles. The landscape is another issue, but 'personal is, as personal does'. ;) |
The best things to me are the nicer entry, the taller front door, and the roof. The shutters on the dormers don't bother me; they are functional, at least. The landscaping is nice, but I prefer the before. The pineapple* is sort of whimsical, and I like the idea of a pineapple somewhere, but I wouldn't want one on top of my house. *From the article: |
The pineapple over the front door is merely a distraction. Did no one else notice that the "after" house has the roof raised? Now the dormers look like they are part of the house, not two pimples stuck on the top of the house. |
Maybe they live in Rhode Island where the pineapple is a sign of hospitality. Many have them on their houses. |
- Posted by patricia43 (My Page) on Mon, Feb 24, 14 at 1:34
With all the tornadic weather in the Birmingham area in spring, I predict the pineapple is sliced and diced before July. |
I think the before is far prettier than the after! |
- Posted by outsideplaying (My Page) on Mon, Feb 24, 14 at 9:56
I don't mind the new, additional dormer, since, as someone has already pointed out, the roof was raised. The pineapple doesn't add a thing, IMO. I also agree about the landscaping. I don't care for the new 'meatball' shrubs at all. Would have much preferred at least some of the existing azaleas remained, maybe pruned. They did ok by taking out the overgrown evergreens, and it looks like they extended one of the beds by the front walk (not shown in the above photo). Don't like the shutters in the upstairs dormer windows as I think it makes the house look top heavy, but the downstairs looks ok along with the new front door. |

Comment: Communicating with people (Score 1) 473
People are the best part of my job...and the worst. Technical challenges can be a real PITA but they don't even come close to comparing to the difficulty of people challenges. And of those challenges, communicating clearly with people is perhaps the most difficult part of my job on a daily basis. (The second is dealing with "problem people", who have some kind of personality issue that makes them difficult to work with.)
How many times have you heard someone start a sentence with "I thought what you meant was..." or "I thought you knew..." or something similar. Or said the same yourself. Communication is hard, and if you think otherwise you probably don't realize how many assumptions are being made on both sides when you talk to people.
The other hardest thing is getting a story (requirement) to "done done". Writing unit tests and getting them to pass is easy. The hard part is making sure I update the design document, project wiki, and deployment doc; that I check the license agreement for the library/framework I just downloaded; that I don't have SQL injection problems; that I've added system tests;

If Apache won't run, then chances are Wordpress isn't the problem - seeing as Apache must be running in order for Wordpress to display any of its pages.
Are you getting any specific errors? Is there any actions that were performed which now result in it not working? We can't provide advice if you don't provide the problem.

The idea of course is to avoid e-mail harvesters/spam. I am using the following on line tool to encrypt my links.
[hiveware.com ]
If you know off a better way to accomplish this let us know.
<input type=hidden name="addressto" size=40 value="firstname.lastname@example.com">
Are you saying harvesters can't extract an address from a hidden form field?
I think by
- Tony
I added this little code to my page:
But I was still getting SPAM sent to firstname.lastname@example.com. After a while it dawned on me that they are not only harvesting email-addresses - they are also making them, by prefixing "webmaster", "sales" etc. to my domain name.
nono, of course this way the harvester still gets the address. The idea is to "hardcode" the address into the form mailer processing script itself (some examples here [simplythebest.net...] If you are already running such a script, remove the hidden field and check the script for a line with the mail command containing the parameter "From:". You should find a variable with the value from your hidden field there. Just replace it with the real e-mail-address, so the client (browser/harvester) will never see it.
The address is hard coded in the send part of the script witch is sitting in a folder that has "script execute" permission only no public access.
I believe with this level of permission the folder and its contents should be invisible to any outside party�s man or machine.

Internet pages now have top/bottom border. How do I get rid of it?
I don't know what my wife did, but after she used my laptop tonight, I now have an annoying border at the top and bottom of my internet page (see attached image). The border is of my desktop background. I can't find any information as to how to get rid of this border and have tried several things. For what help it may be:
1: My screen is maximized 2: My scaling is set to full screen (not aspect ratio) 3: Hitting F11 does rid of the problem, but I don't want to hide my task/tool bars while viewing in full screen. 4: I can't seem to drag the internet page to make it bigger Any suggestions as to how I can once again view a full screen and still see my task/tool bars? I simply want to get rid of the desktop background that I see at the top and bottom of the page. |

Hello nh10ring, and welcome to Seven Forums.
I only see the normal border for Internet Explorer, but do you mean that it's transparent instead of solid? If so, then you can turn off transparency to have it solid again. Transparency - Enable or DisableIn addition, you might see if the tutorial below may help keep the taskbar always on top while using F11. Taskbar Always On Top - Disable or EnableHope this helps, Shawn |

Thanks Brink. Turning off the transparency helped, but it still looks like too much of a border at the top. It just doesn't seem like I have had so much border in the past. I'll run with it for now and probably get use to it over time.
